Block time is 1 hour 25 to 40 minutes on the short 350-mile sector. United operates from its Newark hub and feeds connecting traffic from across its domestic network.

In the EWR-to-YYZ direction, Canadian immigration is processed on landing at Pearson. YYZ Terminal 1 handles Star Alliance carriers including United and Air Canada, keeping connections within the same building.
